In my History & Film classes I talk about the Robin Hood paradigm, where new RH movies/shows come out during times of economic crisis & government mistrust, and Law & Order-type shows in times of prosperity. If L&O is framing ICE as Bad Guys rather than Good Cops, nobody thinks they're the heroes.

The participation of big name funnymen, including Dave Chappelle, Aziz Ansari and Kevin Hart, provoked criticism from fellow comedians and human rights groups.

Curtis Mayfield announced his arrival as a solo artist in the fall of 1970 with a debut single that still applies today in 2025. Today, we take a look at "(Don't Worry) If There Is A Hell Below, We're All Going To Go" #MusicSky youtu.be/oDHxEdpNe4k?...

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

If you say racist things, do racist things, and vote for racist parties, you’re a fucking racist. There’s not a single brain cell between these briefcases

Reform voters got what they wanted with Brexit but they haven’t shut the fuck up have they? And that’s because they still see Black and brown people in their town centre most of whom will have been born here. They aren’t protesting that Morgan McSweeney should “go home”. They are racist.

YES IT FUCKING DOES YOU ABSOLUTE CLOWN

What a tool

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

While Labour appease Farage, we’re focused on making people’s lives better. Monday night I’ll be with @zarahsultana.bsky.social & Faiza Shaheen - join us. 👇🏼

This is the ICE scum that brutally assaulted a Mother. Make him famous.

I was gonna go but I remembered I was a comedian with a human soul. #RiyadhComedyFestival

Just got back from the Riyadh Comedy Festival and boy are my arms chopped off.

# of paragraphs for news orgs to mention there's no discernable need to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon The Guardian: 1st paragraph BBC: 4th paragraph AP: 5th paragraph Time: 6th paragraph Politico: 8th paragraph NPR: 9th paragraph CNN: 10th paragraph NBC: 12th paragraph Fox News: never mentions

Yes. That was always there. But ownership of British press was big factor & its outsize impact on the BBC. Other outlets did some great work but the lawsuit stopped all reporting dead. And it’s why the correct response to a SLAPP is a) protect your journalist & b) keep going.

Are there any likeable golfers?

We've done the math: Born Jan. 3, 1975, Danica McKellar is 18,530 days old today, matching Wilford Brimley's age on the day 'Cocoon' was released. Congrats Danica! You've reached the Brimley/Cocoon Line.

Now the scramble is on to woo the 3% of the electorate who supported him.

Yes folks, that's Pete Hegseth nearly killing someone in public, because he's an incompetent buffoon.

Exactly. I will believe the government is serious about tackling the far-right when they announce a plan for dealing with Facebook and Twitter. It's the nettle they refuse to grasp.

It's pretty fucking dire if The Beano knows its (mostly primary school aged) audience will not only see you as a punchline, but also get the joke that you're a gullible bullshitter.

THREAD: this investigation took up over half my year, but it's here in @thecontinent.org: A Djiboutian drone strike in January was depicted as a army operation targeting rebels. It was actually a massacre of civilians. The bloodshed & coverup implicating Ethiopia, Djibouti, France & Turkiye. #OSINT

You're welcome

Holy shit. What a film. ‘One Battle After Another’ deserves everything. Teyana Taylor is a force of nature, Chase Infiniti somehow despite her ‘inexperience’ is incredible and I hate how much I like DiCaprio. It’s such a great film.

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy Birthday, Diane Abbott

Off to the cinema on my own this afternoon to see ‘One Battle After Another’. Very excited!

Just a NiB from the Telegraph on the former Reform UK leader admitting bribery charges

www.democracynow.org/2025/9/26/bl... = Please take a moment today to read the letter that Assata Shakur wrote to Pope John Paul II in 1998 during his trip to Cuba I am so thankful that she did not die in jail Rest in power forever and ever

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

I need to figure out which of these Assata quotes I can get away with in my Eighth Grade class today.

Through her creative platform, Saint Heron, Solange has launched The Saint Heron Library, a digital archive dedicated to making rare and out-of-print works by Black authors, poets, and artists accessible to all. 🔗 library.saintheron.com

"Last year, reported incidents of hate crimes on the Elizabeth line rose by nearly 50%, and by 28% across the wider London transport network, according to the latest TfL figures, external." Yeh, this is what we wanted our chickenshit PM to be more explicit about. Fucking digital ID cards. Twat.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

Open legal routes to claim asylum. Let asylum seekers work, contribute towards the economy & pay tax. Stop concentrating deprivation in one area. Build more social housing for everyone in Britain. If you "stop the boats" today - guaranteed the Gov will have a brand new scapegoat by tomorrow.

"on a technicality" Not really. A failure to get necessary consents to a terror charge is not a slight error. They are safeguards when a person faces a serious charge. Prosecutors should take such safeguards seriously: this is terrorism law they are using. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...
